Social Media: A Ray of Hope in the Time of Disaster

There is devastation all around. People are dying, missing and injured. Telephone lines have crashed. This is what Nepal looks like since April 25, when a 7.9 magnitude earthquake had hit the country.

With almost no other means of communication with the outside world, Social Media, served as a lifeline in this tragic earthquake’s aftermath. It had enabled information sharing via social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. This has helped people trapped there to get help and people elsewhere to know about the status of their near and dear ones. These websites are also helping to locate people via features like Facebook Safety Check and Google Person Finder.
